Save weight dump the gear box

As the project is about removing as much weight as possable.

(No Gearbox) that's a lot for weight, including clutch, flywheel, gear stick assy, comes in at 65kg's 2 x = 130kg's . That would feel like an extra 26hp . Plus will also free up whp as no more gearbox losses, would end up giving back around 30hp for both boxes.Plus the 26 = 56bhp bonus or there about.

Going along the lines of just 1 gear only. A home made centrifugal clutch and using some thing like a vans rear brake drum. will up date as and when.

Feel i need a bigger chlange as this would be.
